Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by The Gray Havens—the husband-wife Dave and Licia Radford, a folk-pop duo whose unique artistry draws from such influences as C.S. Lewis, JRR Tolkien, and Jonathan Edwards. They are offering 5 prize packages this week, and each package will consist of:

  • Fire and StoneOne 12oz. bag of The Gray Havens Coffee Blend, which is roasted at the coffee shop where they first started playing shows. (I’ve tried it and it’s good!)
  • 1 CD copy of their recent album Fire and Stone. Fire and Stone, their debut full-length recording, is being hailed as “a phenomenal recording,” and reached the Top 10 on national mainstream Singer-Songwriter charts.
  • An autographed tour poster

If you’d like to buy their album, you can enjoy $4 dollars off the digital version by going to their store and using 4FIRE as a promo code.

You’re also free to download and enjoy their song “Far Kingdom.”
